Roanoke College

About Roanoke College

Hillel at Roanoke College is a small, but active group. We have between fifteen and twenty students per grade who identify themselves as Jewish students. We offer a number of programs every year which include a pluralistic Shabbat service each semester, a Rosh HaShanah BBQ, a campus-wide Chanukah celebration, a Passover seder and a ceremony for Yom HaShoah (Holocaust Remembrance Day). We also provide transportation to High Holy Day services at local synagogues. In addition to the above programs, so far this year the RC Hillel has had an ice cream social as a meet and greet for new freshmen as well as arranging tickets and transportation for Jewish students to a Matisyahu concert a university about 30 minutes away. Roanoke College is very supportive of RC Hillel. For example, Dining Services works with students to ensure that there are adequate options for students who wish to keep kosher for Passover. The RC Hillel is a small, but close-knit group.
